Shingles shouldn’t be here

Afterthestorm (1 of 1)-9

See the tree? The silhouette of the roof shingle? I wanted to say oh look there’s your roof shingle. But instead I just stood here looking at it. Such an odd place for roof shingles.

I cannot express how shocked I was and very humbled. Gee I didn’t have a bad week. Not at all. Well maybe just a little bit but I kept thinking these poor neighbors with holes in their roof and some missing their roofs. Some houses completely gone.

All this damage is in the front of my neighborhood. I live in the back, close to the woods and I have no trees or fences. I do so love trees and fences and roofs. I’ve always loved the patterns of roofs. Seeing them like this really…well I just don’t have words.

 

Broken fences

Afterthestorm (1 of 1)-2

I have fence envy. I’ve always loved this fence. Every morning when I drive by, I see the sunrise through the pickets and I think I’m going to stop and take a photo. Tonight I did regret not taking the time before to admire this sweet man’s fence and all his hard work. I wanted to show you my favorite broken fence, my neighbor just left it like this. Maybe for me to find. I don’t know.

I love this split rail fence with the chain link. I love this man’s fence. I see him outside tending to all the many trees in his yard and I was a bit sad to see his broken fence.

 

Okay go ahead…I won’t look…just be quick about it

Y’all this sweet bird literally stood here forever waiting. I am terrible at taking photos of birds and butterflies. I get so excited when I see them that I can’t hold still. This is still a bit blurry…but I’m excited to share it.

Easy evening sunset

Easy evening sunset in Oklahoma. Meet me underneath the Oklahoma sky!

Pieces…she’s in

  
Alex [BB] gave me these stepping stones for my rock prayer garden. I decided I needed some dirt therapy  this evening. I realized all the stones she gave me were broken into pieces, so I started to throw them out…but something stopped me. After I cleared the weeds, I started putting them back together. I thought to myself this one is my favorite because it reminds me of my girl. She’s in pieces, a little broken, scarred up from this journey, and some of her pieces even missing…but tonight I see there is beauty in the missing. Such grace in the missing. Gee I kind of don’t mind missing at all.

Tornado headed this way

It just passed over. I’ll admit I did take cover. 😄

My neighbors all ended up standing in the street.

At one point it actually looked beautiful. I did end up over at my neighbors because I was alone. I wasn’t afraid but maybe wanted someone to watch the storm with. It was quite a sight.

 

I never knew the sunshine till I met you

I never knew the sunshine till I met you! It’s true

And she could see new growth

And she could see new growth everywhere she looked
a masterpiece in the potter’s hands
She welcomes Spring
glory and brillance
she’s shining brightly
She’s a flower
